The Owls were unfortunate to come out on the wrong side of the result a they sought their first Championship win on the road, with an early sending off for Barry Bannan and a deflection-aided winner for the hosts proving to be the difference on the day.
Danny Röhl’s side huffed and puffed and almost managed to get something out of the game, however it wasn’t to be as they remained rooted to the bottom of the league table.
Here’s how we rated the team after another difficult result for Wednesday:
1. Cameron Dawson - 5
Will look back on the game’s first flashpoint with frustration after his pass led to the move that saw Bannan sent off - but turned up in a big way a few minutes later to make a brilliant save off the line from the resultant freekick. His kicking wasn’t great, but made some good saves.
2. Callum Paterson - 6
In true Paterson fashion he started the game as a right wingback and came out for the second half as a striker. Worked tirelessly in both positions.
3. Dominic Iorfa - 7
Made some excellent interventions in the first half and used his pace to fine effect on numerous occasions. Very nearly got a goal early in the second half
4. Bambo Diaby - 5
A tidy enough performance from the centre back, who used his strength time and again to keep City at arm’s length.
